Support Ends for Windows XP & Office 2003

Microsoft will be ending its extended support for all Windows XP and Office 2003 users on April 8th 2014 – just one month away. If you use Microsoft XP or Office 2003 then you need to act right away.

It has been 13 years since the launch of Microsoft XP, yet it still powers between one quarter and one third of desktop computers worldwide. However, with the support coming to an end, users will run the risk of leaving their PC unprotected and more vulnerable to malware and viruses as there will be no automatic updates or technical support after this date.

From Saturday 8th March users will be notified directly by Microsoft through a pop-up notification on their computer screen.
